Oral health--learn what's behind your smile
There's more to oral health than flossing and brushing your teeth. Your mouth serves a variety of functions including eating, tasting, and talking. These are all good reasons to keep your mouth as healthy as possible. Poor dentition can not only affect your ability to chew, it can affect the pronunciation of words. Furthermore, good oral hygiene can prevent tooth decay and bad breath. Learn more about proper oral health in this slide show from the Mayo Clinic.

My Electronic MD is a symptom checker which allows you to find likely causes of your symptoms in a relatively short period of time. After selecting your main complaint, you will be asked to select a scenario representing a constellation of symptoms that best fits your history, similar to the way physicians make diagnoses in the office.
